Curriculum Provision​

All students at Baycroft School have access to the full range of National Curriculum subjects. At Key Stage 4 this is supplemented with option courses along with college and work experience placements, as well as enterprise and work-related learning. Opportunities for accreditation include GCSEs, BTECs, Entry Level Certificate of Achievement and Entry Pathway unit awards.

We recognise that the curriculum needs to be well matched to individual students’ needs and interests, and also that it needs to be personally challenging. Students are helped to make progress at a pace appropriate to their abilities and needs. Those experiencing difficulties in English and Maths have interventions to boost progress in these subjects; those students who are particularly able also have the opportunity for extra support to move on their achievement.

A key skill for life in the 21st Century is effective use of a keyboard. This is a very valuable use of time for students outside of school in practising their skills, and supports all areas of the curriculum.

We subscribe to Typing Club for every student, which tracks progress and offers a systematic programme for developing typing skills. Log in details can be obtained from the school admin team.

However, there are also a host of fun and easy to access games on this page, which can be used at any time. Click here
